Hi Lorraine
Clear margins means clearance of I think 2cm of no cancer cells in the lump they take. Mine was not clear on 3sides hence a mastectomy. You I gather will have rads, I think they do that to kill of any stray cells if there are any. I didnt have rads as had no lymph involvement and a mastectomy.
Your surgeons and the histology people would have checked the tissue they took. So relax, not that we can ever relax.
Ruftikns - How i hope your daughter talks to you soon. I am BRACA 1 and 2 negative which i was obviously pleased about as i have 3 daughters. However my daughters wont talk to me about my breast cancer. At times i have felt so lonely and hurt by this. I was there for my own mum for 6yrs and her absolute ‘rock’.
I have had to come to terms with the fact that they are not being unkind but they are terrified. Firstly of losing me and secondly that it will happen to them.
Families hey we love em but they disappoint us too.
Can you offer to look after your grandchild? I would love grandchildren.
Take Care
